Editors Note: We were a little plagued this time with some technical issues that all happened at once, so we do have a slight difference in audio quality partway through the interview. It doesn't last long and we apologize for the inconvenience!

We spoke with Director and Intimacy Director/Choreographer, Addie Barnhart, MFA about the production she is Directing at Omaha Community Playhouse, "Dial M for Murder."

This is a new adaptation of Frederick Knott's masterpiece of suspense and 1965 Alfred Hitchcock film and was adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher. Hatcher's adaptation premiered in July 2022 so this is a fresh take on this classic thriller!

Hear all about how Addie has put this suspenseful thriller together, with her directing and intimacy coordination and learn more about this dark suspenseful play! It will have you guessing who is the murderer until the very last moment!
